 Daniel Swarovski

In 1895, in Wattens, Austria, a gentleman by the name of Daniel Swarovski formed his company, now known as the international entity, Swarovski.

Born in Bohemia, Daniel Swarovski invented and patented a machine that enabled him to cut crystals with extreme precision. To power his grinding machine with hydroelectric power, Daniel Swarovski moved to Wattens in Tyrol with his family, laying the foundation for the realization of his crystalline vision.
